spell attribute drain is affected by sustain abilities ring

 Any character with a particularly low attribute should be aware of the dangers involved. Any attribute below 8 could conceivably be reduced to 0 by a single unfortunate effect, some of which are common, some less so.
 *Cursed equipment can reduce an attribute by up to 6 for as long as it's equipped, so be cautious about wearing unidentified items if you're at risk. This is especially dangerous in regards to INT, as a character with 0 INT cannot read [[scroll]]s (and thus cannot read a [[scroll of remove curse]] in order to remove the offending item). Low-INT characters may wish to keep a [[potion of brilliance]] on hand to give them a window of time in which they can read scrolls.
-*Miscast effects, Hell effects, [[Zot trap]]s, and [[mummy]] [[death curse]]s can temporarily reduce an attribute by up to 7. You may wish to bring all of your attributes up to a minumum of 8 to guarantee that you can survive a single worst-case scenario shot from either one. Alternatively, you could eat a [[royal jelly]] to restore all attributes instantly. Just remember that "Engorged" characters cannot eat any further.

 The last two will never lower a base stat to zero, but when combined with one of the above effects could still cause stat death.

 The following can all drain your attributes:

 **The special attacks of certain monsters ([[brain worm]]s, [[quasit]]s, [[shadow]]s, etc.).  Although all three stats can be drained, INT is by far the one most commonly affected.  This is because it is drained by a smite-targeted spell, where the others are drained only through melee attacks.
